Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2025-380132)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 267166

Synopsis

The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2025-380132 advisory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvmet-tcp: fix kernel crash if commands allocation fails

If the commands allocation fails in nvmet_tcp_alloc_cmds() the kernel crashes in nvmet_tcp_release_queue_work() because of a NULL pointer dereference.

nvmet: failed to install queue 0 cntlid 1 ret 6 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008

Fix the bug by setting queue->nr_cmds to zero in case nvmet_tcp_alloc_cmd() fails.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected kernel package.
